Equation 3.0 seems to type numerals straight and alphabets in italics.
Is it possible to straighten the alphabets in an equation?

[Herb Tyson [MVP]]

With the equation editor window displayed, choose Style - Define, and remove
the italic tick next to the style(s) for which you want italics suppressed.

A better approach would be to apply the Text style instead of the default
Math style for text.

It would be better to simply apply Text style to whatever characters you
don't want in italics.

Equation Editor follows the standard mathematics conventions that variables
are italic and function names (sin, tan, exp, ln, and so forth) are not. It
assumes that anything it doesn't recognize as a function must be a variable,
and it's up to you to mark it as Text if that's what you want.

The Style menu includes Math for variables, Function for function names, and
Text for "other stuff".

However, if the user *never* want italics (conventions aren't 100% uniform),
then it's easier to change the style than to have to go back an reformat the
italicized bits each time you create an equation.
